Match Preview
Malta has been one of the worst teams in these European qualifiers, currently bottom of Group F with no points and a goal differential of negative 19. The Falcons have failed to score in their last three games and have only scored two goals throughout these qualifiers. This game should prove to be another complicated encounter even with the home-field advantage even against a fragile opponent like Lithuania.
Lithuania has not been much better in this competition, currently fifth in Group F with only five points and a goal differential of negative 12. The Baltic side has lost its last six games and has been outscored 7-0 in its last two games coming against Slovenia and Scotland. Lithuania’s lone win in the competition was a 2-0 win against Malta, which could be replicated in this game, even playing away from home.
